★★★★★ 5.0 Mike · Jun 2025

Great restaurant just across bridge in Ship Bottom. Great food and great specials with both indoor and outdoor seating. BYOB. I find the overall quality of food here to be great but it is on the pricier side. Would compare it favorably/similarlt with Raimondos (similarly expensive), Azzuri (slightly less expensive) and Stefanos (much less expensive) — all great restaurants on the island.

First time eating here , at the recommendation of a local. Our experience was nothing short of incredible. Most memorable salmon I have ever eaten! Every wait staff member was attentive and especially our server - Cristiano - was so friendly and professional! The food is so gourmet and perfectly prepared. I cannot say enough positive things and we will definitely be back soon!!

No greeting when we first walked in, took about 5 minutes or longer for someone to speak to us. Never been served frozen shrimp on LBI in my many, many years of dining here. I was shocked for those prices! We are on the island surrounded by local seafood markets and the nerve to not provide customers with fresh seafood. We spent hundreds of dollars dining here for the first time and it's unfortunate that it will be our last. My shrimp dish tasted like the shrimps from a Chinese takeout. Lots of shrimps but not fresh quality. Many of other restaurants on the island with higher quality food and service. Our waitress was nice and ambience too but that's about it.

I had the absolute best dinner at Dune 18! From start to finish the food, service and atmosphere was fantastic. As someone who is lactose intolerant, the staff did such a great job helping me navigate the menu. You won’t regret visiting!!

We went for the prix fixe menu after Labor Day. $45 per person for 4 courses if top notch food, served with a smile. We were not regulars before but that may change. They ran out of some of the dishes during last seating, but everything we did have was delicious.
